Reviews

dawnmhudspeth Smart, Great script, acting, scenery, costume, music, intrigue, plot twists. A cornucopia of delight for all the senses. Was just pondering why really good movies are increasingly difficult to come by. Hollywood politics definitely kept this one out of the spotlight.

shelemm This is a beautilfully-acted and compelling drama that is filled with so many great touches of drama and beauty. Don't expect to laugh or even smile at this, but some of the choices the characters confront will intrigue and even amuse you. The movie especially turns on a key moment near the end that is amazing. Watch it for yourself and be very much entertained.

loreedubois83 Headlong into an original & credible raconte in novel circumstances, we Loved this film, and the casting ..

st-shot No one has been treading water and barely keeping his head above it like Woody Allen's film career. The one time giant of cinema in generous terms is hitting about 200 over his last 20 films as he fields superstars and hires the best lensmen and offers up impeccable set design and costuming. His writing however has become a threadbare transparency of past films, the dialogue lacking the wit and humor, found in his prime, nowhere to be found lately.Wonder Wheel is a glum Radio Days about an adulterous affair between a Coney Island lifeguard (Justin Timberlake) and a waitress (Kate Winslet) married to a carousel operator (Jim Belushi) living next to The Wonder Wheel. Matters get complicated when a prodigal daughter by another wife shows up at their place with the mob in pursuit. Things calm briefly but explode when the daughter begins to date the lifeguard. Winslet does the best she can with Allen's meager script that seems to repeat itself in the chaotic slap happy domicile scenes that come across both sloppy and artificial. With a convincing accent and weary facade it would be the equal of oscar winner Blanchette with healthier dialogue. The limited Belushi with Allen's help comes across whiny and annoying while lifeguard Timberlake's cavalier attitude in the face of tragedy fails to endear him as well. Juno Temple as the hon on the run and a leitmotif of a firebug son also appear as Allen ghosts from the past.Cinematographer Storaro works his usual wondrous magic but the cast he showcases remains stranded with Allen's anemic script and Wonder Wheel barely turns because of it.
